Main Oven Cookery Notes

25

To prepare meat and poultry for roasting in your fan oven.
(a)

Wipe the meat or poultry, dry well and weigh it. Meat which has been 
stored in a refrigerator should be allowed to come to room                  
temperature before cooking, and frozen meat or poultry must be     
completely defrosted before placing in the oven.

(b)

The weight of any stuffing used should be added before calculating the
cooking time.

(c)

Place meat/poultry in the meat pan supplied with your cooker. 
Small joints weighing less than 1.75kg (3

1

/

2

lbs) should be

roasted in a smaller meat pan/tin - or they may be 'pot roasted' -
a small joint in a large meat pan causes unnecessary oven 
splashing and evaporation of meat juices.

(d)

Additional fat should not be added, except for veal, very lean
meat or poultry which can either be 'larded' with fat bacon or
brushed very sparingly with cooking oil or melted fat.

(e)

Beef, lamb, mutton and poultry may be dusted lightly with seasoned 
flour to give a crisp outer surface. The skin of duck and goose should be
pricked to release excess fat during cooking, and the rind of pork 
should be scored, brushed lightly with oil, and rubbed with salt, to give 
crisp crackling.

(f)

Meat and poultry wrapped in, or covered with a tent of aluminium foil  
will be juicy and tender. Roasting bags offer the same advantages. 
Always follow the manufacturers pack instructions, and remember to 
reduce the temperatures given for conventional ovens by               
approximately 25˚C and the time by approximately 10 minutes per 
hour.

(g)

Potatoes for roasting only require to be brushed with cooking oil
or melted fat.

(h)

It is not necessary to baste when roasting in an electric oven and
stock or liquid should not be added to the meat pan since this
only causes unnecessary soiling, steam and condensation.

Frozen Meat

Joints of meat and whole birds should be defrosted slowly, preferably

and Poultry

in a domestic refrigerator (allowing 5 - 6 hours per 450g, 1lb), or at
room temperature (allowing 2-3 hours per 450g, 1lb).

The breast should be covered with foil, held in position by skewers or
string, and the giblets removed after defrosting but before cooking.
THIS METHOD OF DEFROSTING IS ONLY RECOMMENDED FOR 
MEAT/POULTRY UP TO 2kg (4lb) IN WEIGHT, AND IT IS ESSENTIAL TO 
COOK IT THOROUGHLY, IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS.
